In addition to the anonymous comment from Utah, Ms. Laura Pitts Williams, the Paralegal, who recruited clients for Lisa Lyons Ward, is also facing charges that are similarly situated to those of Ms. Ward. Hence, both were arrested and jailed in Muscogee County (Ms. Ward on November 5 and Ms. Williams on November 8). It seems as though these arrests are evidentiary.
It's sad, although it is a common practice for Ms. Williams to refer to Ms. Ward as her friend knowing that she befriended Ms. Ward by telling lies and twisting the truth about clients she had recruited, and by overusing the phrase I to describe what she has done to help instead of hurt so many people. Needless to say, those friends that were most true and honest to her have been deceived and hurt by her. People were deceived by
Ms. Williams as she led them to believe that the BLACKS IN GOVENMENT organization was filing a class action lawsuit, while at the same time she knew that a chapter of Blacks in Government did not exist in Phenix City, AL/Columbus, GA. Yet, she took money from so-called members who paid dues, held fund raisers, etc. How could it be that she was both the President and Treasurer of this so-call, non-existing chapter? WHERE IS THE MONEY, Ms. Williams? Was this part of the scam?
As Ms. Ward's Paralegal, Ms. Williams told many that she was paid $75.00 per hour. Now, the question is. How far is Ms. Williams willing to go for Ms. Ward? Will she go to jail for her? Is she willing to continue to lie for her to try and keep her out of jail? Will she bend and twist the truth this time? Will the recruitment stop? Will she continue to be paid? There is a money trail, however, money paid to Ms. Ward/Williams for which no services were rendered.
There is a money trail. To one client there is a loss of $12,000; to another $5.000, to another $13,000, and to at least 21or more additional good people in this area alone, there is a loss of $1500.00 each in retainer fees. These are facts. Let's not mention the airline tickets purchased for Ms. Ward in which she failed to appear at said hearings; tickets that she later used for her own personal use and convenience.
Ms. Laura Pitts Williams stated that she will not disassociate herself from Ms. Ward. She really can't. She stated that she received calls for Ms. Ward and relayed messages to clients. Why? Is it because of a $500 payment to her from the top of each retainer fee? Or, was it the additional amenities of a computer, fax machine, or combination of it all.
I guess on that note, it would be very difficult to disassociate from Ms. Ward; maybe they will have side by side jail cells.
